Honestly, I was soooo tired today, that all of my Selfies were sallow and made me too sad. So, instead, I’m showing you a snap of my tranquil spot at Descanso, a place I often ponder before podcasting.

It’s either been almost 6 or almost 7 weeks, I’m losing track as time passes. But I know I’m 11 pounds down. The first was me at 225 and the other is me at 214 pounds. Can you see any difference? I think it’s subtle, but I feel great!

A guy was writing at my usual podcast bench in Descanso, so I went uphill to find another spot. This led to a ‘King of the World’ moment that I captured here in the photo above, and as a video on Instagram.

Podcast Recap

I share why you can’t assume body size equals eating issues and discuss how bravery and support can break the debilitating chains of secrecy. Shout-outs to new listeners, Jenny and Ashley, and stats for the top ten countries and states that download Compulsive Overeating Diary.

Compulsive Overeating and How to Stop It This is a WebMD review of a book by former FDA Commissioner David Kessler, MD, who suffers from compulsive overeating himself. From the review, I think this is a simplistic look at the issue, but gives a good outine of the chemical component and ideas that may help. Worth a read!
